The comic will be back on Monday, until then we mourn the lose of the one of one badass dude.

Was anyone else totally blow away by the annoucnement today that Kojima is going to be producing the next Castlevania game and the series is being rebooted?  The game looks awesome and you can check out the trailer over at IGN.  I’m certain the game will be excellent, but I’m skeptical whether or not it will be Castlevania.  After all does Castlevania really need a reboot?  Iga was excellent with the Castlevania franchise and I’m sorry to see him go (rather I’m not sure what happened to him?).  He laid down a rich groundwork and history and gave us plenty of memorable moment.  SOTN anyone?  I hope this game ends up fitting somewhere in Iga’s established Castlevania lore instead of just abandonding everything Iga did for Castlevania.  Only time will tell.
